SUMMARY:Bogus Bite Mark Evidence and Homophobia: A Criminal Combination (in-person & live-streaming)
DESCRIPTION:Hear from two innocence litigators as they describe the harmful yet tantalizing power of faulty forensic evidence\, and how it has been used to wrongly convict queer people of violent crimes. Queer author Valena Beety will discuss her book Manifesting Justice: Wrongly Convicted Women Reclaim Their Rights\, in conversation with Innocence Project Strategic Litigation Director Chris Fabricant about his book Junk Science and the American Criminal Justice System. This night will be sure to take a bite out of crime… by exposing criminal falsehoods. \n  \nJoin this event in-person at the Bureau \nOR watch the live-stream of the event on the Bureau’s YouTube channel. \nRegistration is not required. Seating is first come\, first served. \n  \nSuggested donation $10 to benefit the Bureau’s work. \nAll are welcome to attend\, with or without donation. \nWe will pass a bag for donations at the start of the event\, but we can also take credit card donations at the register. \n  \nSafety protocol (for those joining in person): \nIn an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19: \nIf you have any symptoms associated with COVID-19 in the days leading up to the event\, we ask you to please stay home. \n  \nValena Beety is a former federal prosecutor and innocence litigator who represented Leigh Stubbs in post-conviction. She has successfully exonerated wrongfully convicted clients\, obtained presidential grants of clemency for drug offenders\, served as an elected board member of the national Innocence Network\, and was appointed commissioner on the West Virginia Governor’s Indigent Defense Commission. She is currently a Professor of Law at Arizona State University Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law and the Deputy Director of the Academy for Justice\, a criminal justice center at the law school that connects research with policy reform. Previously\, she founded and directed the West Virginia Innocence Project at the West Virginia University College of Law and practiced as a Senior Staff Attorney at the Mississippi Innocence Project\, representing clients on death row.
